Wasn’t it the same issue with telecoms ?
I don’t remember my parents losing sleep at night because third party ISP couldn’t get the same access to copper lines. Yet we got meaningful regulation of that market.
I think as long as there’s big enough third parties losing money there is hope for change.
- yourenotsmart 5y agoSo which parties are "losing money" here?
- gogopuppygogo 5y agoFacebook
- yourenotsmart 5y agoAh yes, the Facebook Browser Engine... (?)
- gogopuppygogo 5y agoGoogle monetizes chrome. Google is an advertising company. Apple monetizes Safari. They sell hardware and subscription services. Facebook monetizes in part through these browsers. The changes to Safari hurt Facebook revenue.
- makeitdouble 5y agoMicrosoft I’d guess ? If Google were to lose android I wonder if they’d also push for more regulation on Apple. I wish I could just say “Firefox”, but I’m afraid they would be small potatoes in this.
- yourenotsmart 5y agoMicrosoft recently abandoned their own browser engine and switched to Chromium. What are they supposed to lose again?
